There are many people far less "problematic" than Putin who wouldn't dare get interviewed by Western MSM. Why would Putin, or why would he care until someone controversially unapologetically neutral comes along and says he'll post the interview unedited and unmanipulated? For this interview, what part of Tucker is full of shit? Or any of the other interviews? Again, Putin's version of the truth (likely a fog of half truths) hasn't been aired in the West without opinion and commentary given over the top. You don't have to be pro Putin or pro Authoritarian to admit that. Where is this same energy for every single interview of a Western leader in environments where there is no journalism just narrative pushing?
